    Immunocytochemical and ultrastructural organization of the taste thalamus of the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri)

    Ventroposterior medialis parvocellularis (VPMP) nucleus of the primate thalamus receives direct input from the nucleus of the solitary tract, whereas the homologous thalamic structure in the rodent does not. To reveal whether the synaptic circuitries in these nuclei lend evidence for conservation of design principles in the taste thalamus across species or across sensory thalamus in general, we characterized the ultrastructural and molecular properties of the VPMP in a close relative of primates, the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri), and compared these to known properties of the taste thalamus in rodent, and the visual thalamus in mammals. Electron microscopy analysis to categorize the synaptic inputs in the VPMP revealed that the largest-size terminals contained many vesicles and formed large synaptic zones with thick postsynaptic density on multiple, medium-caliber dendrite segments. Some formed triads within glomerular arrangements. Smaller-sized terminals contained dark mitochondria

    Morphological evaluation of the effects of exercise on high-fat-diet-induced liver damage in rats

    Background/Aims: This study was aimed to investigate the protective effects of swimming on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease associated with high-fat-diet-induced obesity using microscopic and biochemical parameters. Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley male rats were fed either standard chow (STD group
